Hi Jude, Thankyou for your interest in finding Day relatives, quite honestly, I was a young girl when we used to come and stay with my uncle and his family for summer holidays with my gran (his sister), I was probably about 13 when I last visited Worthing and so at the grand age of 63 i am afraid the brain won't take me back to there!!!! However I would appreciate any help if your husband has any ideas. Thankyou again Jackie

Hello Jackie Spoke to friend in Sussex this evening -he says the only Day's Garage he can find is a volkswagon repair centre in St Johns Road, Hove. East Sussex. He found this in the yellow pages. and is pretty sure the Days Garage in Worthing is now a Daewoo place. He worked for Days for 2 weeks in 1982/3 approx and can't remember any christian names or anything. He's very sorry he was'nt helpful - if there is anything you think he might be able to look up please ask again. Do you think there could be some kind of registry for garages???? Jude
